MA5C Assault Rifle (MA5B Conversion) v1.0.0

A Mod for Helldivers 2

Looking to make your own weapon and stratagem mods? Check out SHODAN Stat Editor https://github.com/SHODAN-HORAI/SHODAN-Stat-Editor

This mod turns the MA5C into a lore-accurate MA5B. It fires harder-hitting rounds from a 60-round magazine at 900 RPM, and they punch through crowds. The trade-off is the MA5B's famously wide spread.

- Damage increased from 90 to 100
- Durable damage increased from 16 to 25
- Fire rate increased from 640 to 900 RPM
- Magazine capacity increased from 32 to 60 rounds
- Spare magazines increased from 8 to 10 (you start with 8)
- Penetration slowdown reduced from 25% to 2.5%: bullets keep going through enemies
- Spread increased from 2/2 to 90/90

It now holds a total combat load of 660 rounds.

Made with great help from my friend Claude.

(Requires Bingus Shared Loader v15+)

Thank you so much for the video! Very straight forward, but I do have one (unrelated question), is there a specific way to make sure multiple gun stat mods work together without breaking? I heard that v18 of bingus doesn't work well, so I'm going to try v16 again, but I want to know if there's any specific method to that.

You mean for the same gun? I wouldn't do that. If you need multiple mods for one gun, you could just make a mod yourself or request one.

If you want to do it yourself, I actually use AI, specifically GPT astra 6, the easiest way is that you give it a functioning similar mod and ask either to modify it for you or ask what you want for another weapon.

For example, I asked Astra 6 to modify the Dagger pistol to 20x the damage to test, I gave it the MA5B mod as a reference and it did the mod in one try!

I also modified the orbital laser to be 60 seconds cooldown and infinite uses. It made a read-only diagnostic addon to capture that table from my current game and I fed it the log file and it found all of the offsets needed. Those mods are too unbalanced for this site and were removed, but they are accessible on my profile.

I'm more referring to different weapons in general. I think I did find the culprit though. Bingus v18 doesn't seem to play nice with multiple gun mods (like ap4 plasma sniper + halo pistol mod + hmg buff mod together etc...). But v16 works fine for some reason. I don't understand what's going on under the hood for this to happen but yeah.

Ok good job, I'll stay with v16 myself for now, thanks.

yeah no i did everything exactly how you had done it but my game keeps telling me i modified files and wont let me launch so i came to the conclusion its because i use arsenal, which im pissed about cause i used hd2mm forever and so many people and mods kept telling me to go to arsenal, ive given up on the mac5 mods

Alright, maybe that's the case, people also said that they had problems with the V18 of BingusSharedLoader, maybe try the one I'm using which is V16.

using the "Mod Lag watchdog" mod to monitor which mods tank my framerate, this one is apparently one of the culprits.
I don't really know how accurate it is. @Shodan, can you check it out? you can find it on nexusmod (no, not here).

(just to be clear, I don't want your approval of the "Mod Lag watchdog" ; I just want you to check out if this M5AC mod could potentially cause framerates issues. I use other mods of yours and they don't appear in the list of mods that can cause lag...)

Is there a version of this without the increased ROF? It does feel exactly like halo but I wouldnt mind the old fire
